Let the countdown begin....

We are counting down to a lot of things around here - Spring, Swimming Pools, Walks to the Park, Feeding the ducks....basically anything that will allow us to un-cage our 2 monkeys!

Drake has changed so much just in the past month.  It's like one night we put him to bed a baby and he woke up the next morning as a big boy.  He is officially "Falking" - our term for Falling/Walking.  He is as busy as his sister - yes, that's possible.  He's not quite as daring as she was at this age - so that's a good thing.  He is still my little chatter-box, which we can't get enough of.  His favorite things (in no particular order) are: Bananas, Kinnick, Gabby, Yo Gabba Gabba, Banging objects on our wood floors, baths, getting tickled by Daddy and BALLS.  The kid goes nuts for any type of ball - baseball, basketball, football, giant oversized princess ball (hey, we don't discriminate), he loves them.  He will spend a lot of his time in the afternoon either pushing the ball and then crawling to go retreive it - only to push it again.  Now that the sun shines in the afternoon - I often hear him and Kinnick having their afternoon "talk" while laying on Kinnick's bed in the sun that's shining in through the front door.  They are buddies.

Gabby has too changed a lot - since Christmas she has become quite the girly-girl.  She loves to try on shoes - and often will come out to the living room in my Ugg Boots or her dads tennis shoes.  We recently bought her a pair of dress-up shoes so she enjoys parading around in them.  She is getting a little more interested in her brother - mostly because he is now wanting to be wherever she is and can actually keep up with her!  On a recent playdate we went to a friends house that had 2 cats and Gabby was in Heaven.  It was the first time she has been around cats and you would've though she had won the lottery - she ran around chasing them saying: kitteeeeee, kitteeeeee.  Those poor cats.

Some of the things Gabby enjoys (in no particular order) are:  Mickey Mouse, Cheese, Counting to 10, Floating in the Bathtub, Taking walks in the stroller, Waiting at the front door for Daddy to come home, Tag Jr, Tents and Snakes.  Gabby LOVES snakes!

It's hard to believe that next month marks Birthday(s) for our babies - an event that is always bittersweet for Brandon and I.  While we are overwhelmingly blessed, it's hard to let your babies grow up....and they seem to do it right before our eyes.
